I'm so excited. It's been 20 years since I've been this small. Yesterday I went on my first shopping trip. I kept gravitating to tge 3xl and it would dawn on me. I'm a size 16 now " GET OUT OF THE PLUS SIZE"! omg never thought I can actually wear things I actually want. Not just look at sizes till I found something. It feels amazing. Went from size 26 jeans and 4xl tops. To size 16 jeans and xl top in just 4 months. Victory! Best decision I've ever made for myself. No regrets.

It's a mind thing. I basically can only eat about 4 bites. I've learned bread is a no. I only drink Water with flavor pkts. No carbonated drinks. Eating slow is the hardest part for me. But definitely do it. Walk everyday. Even if it's in your yard at first. I literally walked circles on my patio at first because I was so out of shape. It's hard for me to eat heavy in the morning so I usually eat special k Protein Cereal with splenda. Have a slice of ham, a slice if cheese and a mini bag of pretzels. I can't eat it all so I make 2 meals of it. Then for supper I eat whatever the family is having but stop as soon as I feel full. Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
